HTHGS: My vagina is too wide (written by Alex Robboy
LCSW)
Ask Alex,
I have a wonderful new boyfriend, but I am feeling very down and a bit nervous
that my vagina is too wide. I had a baby 3 years ago and I find myself
constantly worrying that he is comparing me to past lovers vaginal size.
Also I’ve had an IUD fitted and he has commented on how he can feel the
threads on the tip of his penis (is my cervix too low down or something?).
Hazel** Ps I have tried the Kegel
exercises!

Dear Hayley,
Often women’s vaginal muscles become looser after giving birth.
To tighten the PC muscles you will need to do Kegel exercises http://www.howtohavegoodsex.com/locating_your_pc_muscle.htm
. I realize that you have said that you have already done them.
My guess is that you have not done enough of them. You should be doing at
least 10-15 minutes of them per day. One
way of increasing the intensity is to use the Kegel exerciser www.kegelhealth.com/exerciser.
The Kegel Exerciser works. In
regards to your boyfriend feeling the IUD, some men report being able to feel it
during intercourse. This is normal. However, just to be safe, you need to contact your
gynecologist and get advice from her/him.
